The coach walked the field following his club Crystal Palace’s 3-2 defeat at Everton on Thursday. A video clip shows the Frenchman again being harassed by a suspected Everton supporter and filmed on his cellphone. After a short while, Vieira grabbed the young man and then kicked him before other fans pushed him off.

“I have nothing to say about that,” said the 45-year-old at the press conference after the game. Everton manager Frank Lampard showed understanding for Vieira. “I feel for Patrick,” said the former England international.
The win secured Everton a place in the Premier League with one round to go. After the final whistle of the game, in which the hosts were already 2-0 down, the supporters stormed the pitch. “It was the sheer excitement of the fans coming onto the pitch after we avoided relegation. If done right, let them stay on the pitch, let them have their moment. As long as they behave, no problem.” said Lampard.
A few hours earlier, a Nottingham Forest fan had been sentenced to 24 weeks in prison for assault. The 30-year-old headbutted United captain Billy Sharp on Tuesday after Forest’s win over Sheffield United in the semi-final second leg of the English Championship as thousands of fans stormed the pitch, knocking him to the ground with full force. Sharp then required medical treatment.
